Crowned with the Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Book Shop Literary Prize, this 'splendid' (Guardian) and 'visionary' (New Statesman) tome unveils a startling truth: Britain's vast expanses are ripe for an extraordinary wildlife renaissance. Contrary to popular belief, a mere six percent of our nation is developed, whilst swathes of our countryside lie fallow, presenting a golden opportunity for both fauna and employment.

In 'Rebirding: Restoring Britain's Wildlife', Benedict Macdonald presents a compelling case for a dramatic shift in our approach to conservation. With razor-sharp wit and meticulous attention to detail, Macdonald unravels the complexities of rewilding, species reintroduction, and rural job creation, painting a vivid picture of a thriving, biodiverse Britain.

This masterful manifesto, lauded by conservationists and landowners alike, charts a bold course towards a harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity. It's high time, Macdonald argues with infectious enthusiasm, to orchestrate a grand reversal of fortune for our long-neglected wildlife and rural communities.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
